Does the foam need to be covered for fire reasons? Is the paint a suitable covering? Jon

Plywood at least 4’ up.Inspector probably doesn't care about flammability since it is not a residential building. Mine didn't care about much anything on the shop. But in the house I had spray foam exposed in the unfinished utility room and that caused trouble. We ended up settling on a special coating that the foams guys sprayed on top of it that jet flammability requirements. That satisfied the inspector
My main caution to you would be if you do any welding, grinding, or cutting of metal in there. That foam is very flammable and really will need to be covered especially down low. Perhaps you already are planning for that.
